Decor Retailer Smart Blinds

The IKEA KADRILJ Blinds Work with the Accompanying Remote or App

— January 13, 2019 — Tech
The IKEA KADRILJ Blinds have been announced by the home furniture brand as a cost-effective option for consumers who are looking to enhance their home with the latest technology.

The blinds come in gray (KADRILJ) and blackout (FYTUR) color options, and can be controlled remotely via the accompanying remote or through the smartphone app. Users can set the blinds to automatically open and close according to the sunrise and sunset or their schedule to further enhance the overall efficiency of their lifestyle.

The IKEA KADRILJ Blinds work with a removable battery pack for power rather than needing to be plugged in to make installation far simpler than other smart blind options on the market. The blinds will be available for purchase online starting on February 2.
